Rebroadcast: this episode was originally released in October 2021.Preventing the apocalypse may sound like an idiosyncratic activity, and it sometimes is justified on exotic grounds, such as the potential for humanity to become a galaxy-spanning civilisation.But the policy of US government agencies is already to spend up to $4 million to save the life of a citizen, making the death of all Americans a $1,300,000,000,000,000 disaster.According to Carl Shulman, research associate at Oxford University's Future of Humanity Institute, that means you don't need any fancy philosophical arguments about the value or size of the future to justify working to reduce existential risk — it passes a mundane cost-benefit analysis whether or not you place any value on the long-term future.Links to learn more, summary, and full transcript.The key reason to make it a top priority is factual, not philosophical. That is, the risk of a disaster that kills billions of people alive today is alarmingly high, and it can be reduced at a reasonable cost. A back-of-the-envelope version of the argument runs:The US government is willing to pay up to $4 million (depending on the agency) to save the life of an American.So saving all US citizens at any given point in time would be worth $1,300 trillion.If you believe that the risk of human extinction over the next century is something like one in six (as Toby Ord suggests is a reasonable figure in his book The Precipice), then it would be worth the US government spending up to $2.2 trillion to reduce that risk by just 1%, in terms of American lives saved alone.Carl thinks it would cost a lot less than that to achieve a 1% risk reduction if the money were spent intelligently. So it easily passes a government cost-benefit test, with a very big benefit-to-cost ratio — likely over 1000:1 today.This argument helped NASA get funding to scan the sky for any asteroids that might be on a collision course with Earth, and it was directly promoted by famous economists like Richard Posner, Larry Summers, and Cass Sunstein.If the case is clear enough, why hasn't it already motivated a lot more spending or regulations to limit existential risks — enough to drive down what any additional efforts would achieve?Carl thinks that one key barrier is that infrequent disasters are rarely politically salient. Research indicates that extra money is spent on flood defences in the years immediately following a massive flood — but as memories fade, that spending quickly dries up. Of course the annual probability of a disaster was the same the whole time; all that changed is what voters had on their minds.Carl suspects another reason is that it's difficult for the average voter to estimate and understand how large these respective risks are, and what responses would be appropriate rather than self-serving. If the public doesn't know what good performance looks like, politicians can't be given incentives to do the right thing.It's reasonable to assume that if we found out a giant asteroid were going to crash into the Earth one year from now, most of our resources would be quickly diverted into figuring out how to avert catastrophe.But even in the case of COVID-19, an event that massively disrupted the lives of everyone on Earth, we've still seen a substantial lack of investment in vaccine manufacturing capacity and other ways of controlling the spread of the virus, relative to what economists recommended.Carl expects that all the reasons we didn't adequately prepare for or respond to COVID-19 — with excess mortality over 15 million and costs well over $10 trillion — bite even harder when it comes to threats we've never faced before, such as engineered pandemics, risks from advanced artificial intelligence, and so on.Today's episode is in part our way of trying to improve this situation. In today's wide-ranging conversation, Carl and Rob also cover:A few reasons Carl isn't excited by ‘strong longtermism'How x-risk reduction compares to GiveWell recommendationsSolutions for asteroids, comets, supervolcanoes, nuclear war, pandemics, and climate changeThe history of bioweaponsWhether gain-of-function research is justifiableSuccesses and failures around COVID-19The history of existential riskAnd much moreProducer: Keiran HarrisAudio mastering: Ben CordellTranscriptions: Katy Moore

I had to find new ways to be active” —Kevin Boyce [18:24]“It was still nice to have some sort of social interactions. I personally appreciated and appreciate my friends a lot more than I have before. I am not saying I didn't appreciate them, but we really take that for granted when you have it and it's taken away from you” —Kevin Boyce [20:26]“Sprinting in particular is a very technical experience. It's not just going out there and just running as fast as you can. A lot of it is form, a lot of it is positioning of your body, a lot of it is general strength” —Kevin Boyce [26:28]“For me personally, and I think for a lot of people on the team, it's not always just about being the very best of the best, but what it's about is just being better incrementally each and every day. I go to practice every single day just trying to be a little better than I was the day before, a little better than I was the week before, and that progress gets me to be able to win” —Kevin Boyce [30:38]“I just think that in general if you know you are not going to be the very best of the best, you have to 1) believe that you can be and 2) work to get incrementally better every single day” —Kevin Boyce [33:19]“We as a community need to have conversations that do make us feel a little uncomfortable from time to time” —Kevin Boyce [42:42]“I think that putting ourselves in a position to have uncomfortable conversations allows us to really have the progress we seek to make as a collective group, as a human race in general” —Kevin Boyce [43:25]Stay connected:Sydney FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastKevin Boyce Twitter: Kevin BoyceSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry.

Except then you'll need to spend years writing a book on Dante, then start the next book, cloistered in Italian libraries with no air conditioning during Roman summer.

“Candidate experience needs to be the most vital part of an interview process.”On this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, we have Thomas Dove, Executive Search Specialist and Co-Founder of Fraser Dove International, an international search firm that helps exceptional life science organisations source the talent they need to design, manufacture and distribute life-changing drugs and treatments all over the world.With 15 years of search experience, Thomas and his team have advanced hundreds of careers by partnering top talent with global life science brands. They have completed searches in 40+ countries to date, covering EMEA, APAC, US and LATAM.In this episode, we discuss with Thomas:Dynamics of a global recruitment processWhy do you need to stop asking candidates why they want to join you… and start selling them reasons why they shouldWhy candidate experience will be the Trip Advisor or Glassdoor, where bad news travels 100 times faster and deeper than good! How COVID-19 has and will change the Life Science industryEPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:Dynamics of the Global Recruitment Process As Mr. Thomas is working in life sciences, he can hire the best people for the job irrespective of their locations. Plus, the candidates are willing to relocate quickly. Language can be an important parameter for certain locations. The notice period varies from one country to another, which can often be a big challenge for the recruitment firm. A short notice period makes it hard to find employees. For longer waiting periods, a recruiter has to wait and remember the right time to hire suitable candidates. Start Selling Reasons to Impress CandidatesThe time when recruiters expected the candidates to know their company and join out of desperation is gone. The recruiters must explain what they are doing and how it is a wonderful prospect for the candidate. Impact of a Candidate's Experience on a Company Candidates remember good interviews but talk more about the bad ones. The recruiters should follow a more humane approach even while drafting a rejection email to the candidate. In the life sciences, candidates have a strong network and tend to discuss their bad experiences. This puts the company off in the mind of future employees. Companies use podcasts and other channels for interviewing employees. They use their narratives and experiences to motivate the other candidates. This is the best employer branding, according to Thomas. Transformation of Life Science Industry due to COVID-19The manufacturing of pharmaceutical products and medicines did not stop during the pandemic. More investment has been coming into the life science industry. Therefore, the biotech industry is the best industry to invest in. Pandemic's Effect on Employees' Mental HealthWith the growth of technology, people have stopped hearing their inner voices. Also, they haven't connected with nature much. This affects mental well-being. Many leaders spent hours on the internet interacting with the employees on how things have been going during the pandemic. A good personal and professional life balance is the key to success according to him.Follow Thomas on LinkedInProduced by: Priya BhattPodcast host: Rohan MankadBONUS: Interested to know more about advanced recruitment?

The realms of real estate can be appealing especially in the aspect of monetary gain. In reality, there is more to it than that - it is not simply about acquiring low and selling at a high price. To experience more rewards, we must be willing to do the hard work and give value to our product. In this talk, Josh Cantwell stresses the importance of not relying on the “MVP”, recognizing that money is king, and breaking down the dangers of merely getting a deal done. And all the while acknowledging the goal of the hustle - financial freedom - and ultimately, satisfaction in life.[00:01 - 03:52] Opening Segment I welcome today's guest, Josh CantwellHow he got into real estate[03:53 - 14:51] Realities of Attaining Financial FreedomThe meaning of financial freedom and its challenges for entrepreneursJosh talks about his deals and the threat of COVID-19The considerations in building a solid business model[14:52 - 28:48] Dangers of Rushing the DealThe real MVP in real estate investingWhat tenants truly care aboutWhy being on time yet going over budget is better [28:49 - 34:45] Closing SegmentThe truth about business - money is kingFinal wordsTweetable Quotes:“And the big challenge for every entrepreneur in today's market is to sit and think about what they're really trying to do, and realize that yesterday is gone. .” - Josh Cantwell“ You do the hard work. That's where the MVPs are at… Why is somebody gonna pay you more rent, if you're not giving them a better product? Simple as that.” - Josh Cantwell“I was passionate about what I was doing. I was loving it. So if I literally had my number calling, I was off the face of the earth that year, I would have been okay with that. Because I was doing what I love. I was having fun with it.”  - Josh CantwellLearn more about Myers Methods of Multifamily Investing: http://bit.ly/37u6oK3Register for Myers Methods Multifamily Investing Course: https://bit.ly/37iozkBLearn more about the Mid-Atlantic Multifamily Conference: https://bit.ly/2V7SlCC Support the show (https://www.facebook.com/groups/157335752156211/)

Episode Topic: Vaccines and the Immunology of COVID-19The world is basically at a stand-still awaiting a COVID-19 vaccine to allow life to go back to normal and restart global economies. The unprecedented accelerated vaccine development timeline, conflicting headlines about when a vaccine will be available, and political interference in the process certainly makes many wary of receiving a new vaccine. There has been no other time in history when understanding vaccines and immunology was more important than the present so that citizens can make decisions about their health. This session will include a general discussion of COVID-19 vaccines, the types of vaccines, and the clinical trial process. In addition, the immune mechanisms (antibodies, B-cells, T-cells) that make vaccines work and the cytokine storm concept that leads to severe COVID-19 disease will be presented.Featured Speakers: Heidi Beidinger-Burnett, Director, Eck Institute for Global Health Masters Program; Associate Professor of the Practice, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Notre Dame; President of the St. Joseph County Board of HealthMary Ann McDowell, PhD, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences and Member of the Eck Institute for Global Health, University of Notre DameBrian Baker, Rev.

Ask any parent what it's like to know your teen or young-adult child is coming home from drug treatment and you'll see a very frightened, confused, and anxious person. It's a highly vulnerable time for the child and a hopeful, yet confusing and terrifying time for parents and caregivers. Wonder, co-founded by Dave Herz and Willow Rubin is a unique program closing that gap in care, role-modeling, support, and expertise when it's needed most. This was such an enlightening and hopeful conversation with two people who have played many roles in the treatment and therapeutic world and I'm so grateful for them sharing their knowledge and insights with us. You'll hear about:How Dave & Willow noticed a gap in traditional treatment for teens and young adults and then developed a therapy service that fills itWhat teens and young adults actually want most from their parentsWhat Dave describes as “warrior work” for parents and why it's the hardest thing to doHow meeting kids where they are (aka, not in a therapist office) is such an important part of their successTheir philosophy of “we show up,” what it takes to deliver on it, and what that looks like vs traditional modelsWhy they provide separate coaches for parents and teens/young adults to meet their different needsHow they work with parents to help them stop enabling destructive behavior and recognize their own needs and boundariesHow they help parents feel empowered and enabled to make their own choices The uncomfortable reality that we as parents don't have control over what our kids do - but how we can still help themThe difference between loving unconditionally and enablingWhy it's important for parents to be held accountable - as well as their kids Why parents shouldn't focus on future outcomes and spend time in “future thinking”How kids don't make their decisions based on the future like adults often doWhat they're seeing today related to the opioid epidemicHow they're transitioning their in-person model to adjust for COVID-19The role of energy and creativity in their therapeutic modelWhy things may be getting better with your kid even if their behavior isn't changing, and how to tellShow notes with recommended resources and full transcript at www.brendazane.com/hopestream/16If you're a mom who needs strength and support while your child is experimenting with or addicted to drugs, or recovering from addiction, please join our private online community, The Stream, at www.brendazane.com/thestream.Download my free ebook “HINDSIGHT: 3 Things I Wish I Knew When My Son Was Addicted to Drugs

Join Amanda and co-host Beatrice as they talk to writer and fashion consultant Aja Barber alongside Sarah Ditty, Global Policy Director at Fashion Revolution about the future of fashion post Covid-19The fashion industry is one of the biggest contributors to climate change. From the water-heavy production processes, the carbon emissions and the huge amount of waste it produces, with 300,000 tonnes of clothing sent to landfill in the UK in 2016. The current model of mass production and rapid turnaround plays into the consumer's constant desire for something new and is having detrimental effects on both people and planet.  We ask who bears the cost of the clothes we wear and the exploitative nature of the fashion industry,  why it needs to change and what Covid-19 means for the industry and its workers.  We also explore the responsibilities and brands in considering the environmental and ethical consequences of our actions and how we can call for change.  This episode is going live in #Digitalfashionrevolutionweek, a week that commemorates the Rana Plaza factory collapse in 2013 in Bangladesh. This tragically killed thousands of workers and exposed the horrific working conditions of garment factories supplying clothing retailers in the UK and around the world.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
